Abstract :
We have grown Bi and BiSb alloy thin films at an oblique angle on (211) CdTe substrates, which were tilted by 19/spl deg/ to the trigonal axis. We have studied the anisotropic Seebeck and magneto-Seebeck coefficients in magnetic fields of 0-0.7T and have observed a strong dependence on the crystal-axis and the magnetic field direction in Seebeck coefficients.
